• First two numbers: Identify the bank or credit union that’s responsible for clearing financial transactions
• Next two numbers: Represent the bank’s processing center and its location
• Next four numbers: Serve to identify your bank
• Last number: Represents the check digit, which verifies that the routing number is valid

Other Routing Numbers for International Wire Transfers

Alaska USA Federal Credit Union uses Wells Fargo and its routing number to send outgoing wire transfers. For incoming wire transfers, there are no special codes or routing numbers needed, according to the credit union, other than the exact name on the account, the recipient’s account number and the Alaska USA credit union routing number.

Although some financial institutions have a Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication code — or a SWIFT code — to receive international wire transfers or electronic payments, Alaska USA Federal Credit Union does not.
